Where to Swim in Zurich

It’s sunny?
Wait. Are you really in Zurich? Check. Double check. Yes? Great, then it’s time
to go swimming! How many cities, after all, feature lakes and rivers to swim
in, neither of which pose major health risks? Below are The Frau’s three
favorite Zurich swim spots.

To swim
with the Swiss swans in Lake Zurich, head to Bad Utoquai. It’s open rain or
shine until September 22 from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. It features separate men’s
and women’s-only sunning terraces, two shallow areas for non-swimmers, as well
as a diving board, which for reasons The Frau is still determining, is only on
the men’s side.

If you’re a
woman and you’re more about sunning than swimming, then the Frauenbad is for
you. Women only by day and co-ed bar by night, this Limmat River swimming area
features a 31-meter long “play” area and a 33-meter swimming area. Or just do
what the locals do—bring your MacBook Pro and type away while topless.

Just
because the sun was out at the beginning of this post, does not mean it still
is now. So for days that turn out less than spectacular, head to Hallenbad
City. This newly renovated 50-meter pool is open daily from 6 a.m. until 10
p.m. It features four different lanes for appropriate swimming seriousness,
which The Frau greatly appreciates.

Prices and
Entry

All Zurich swimming
areas cost CHF 7 per entry for adults, but The Frau recommends the 12-pass
(ask for a Kombi12), which gives you 12 entries for the price of 10. It is
valid at all Zurich pools (and some ice rinks too). You can also purchase a
yearly swim pass for CHF 220.
